Usually someone who buys a used Honda Civic for $2,000 and upgrades it with $10,000 in modifications, and then wishes they had bought that ultra-cool Scion that looks like the box that came in the mail with all of my sex toys in it.
Hey man, you stupid ricer! You could have bought that Scion and been the least aerodynamic piece of shit on the road!

Someone that cannot modify a car correctly
Someone that cannot describe and engine's various parts
Someone that cannot paint a body kit/lip kit
Someone that cannot buy a decent import such as the following: Acura RSX-S, Toyota Celica, Mazda RX-7, Civic Si, Toyota Supra, Mazda RX-8, Subaru WRX and STi, Mitsubishi Evolution, etc...
Someone that modifies a econo car such as the following: Civic DX,LX and EX trims, Mazda 3, Chevy Cavalier, Chevy Cobalt (not SS), Pontiac Sunfire, AND THINKS IT'S FAST etc..
Someone that thinks a 4inch+ exhaust will give better low end gains. But in effect it will give better top end gains.
Someone that goes fast all the time because they can.
Someone that modifies a car incorrectly, I.E cutting springs, ghetto rigged intake, tire tuck on stock suspension, etc...
Anyone that installs pointless blinking lights or any other pointless gimmick on their car
Anyone who does not know what the fuck they are talking about.
Anyone who just modifies a car because they can, not because he or she is an enthusiast.
****this applies for every make and model of car on the road, not just japanese cars.****

"my base model Mustang V6 with the Pony Package is the shit, even though it cannot corner worth a shit, i'm a ricer"

poor attempt to make an import "fast", when indeed the upgrades done to the car dont really improve performance at all. mostly late 80's to mid 90's hondas, toyotas, etc. they consist of huge unessesary spoilers, huge fart can exhaust pipes that make their 4 cylinders sound even shittier, bodykits that havent been painted and are held on by bolts or whatever the ricer could hold it up with. lets not forget the most important ricer upgrade, the clear tailights and HID headlights.
"I smoked a ricer in my 96 Impala SS with minimal traction on a wet road"
"Look at that stupid ricer.lets race it."
"i just beat a turbocharged ricer Mazda protege in my Impala"

Two types of ricers in my opinion:
Type A: Known as tuners to some, people who buy a inexpensive import, then spend money on it for performance upgrades, later getting it visual upgrades
Type B: The failures at life, these people are classed ONLY as ricers, as they only add shitty visual upgrades, thinking they can own a McLaren F1 in a race.
My suggestion to any teen: Get an old RWD(Rear Wheel Drive) car, upgrade the fucking performance, then get it a spoiler that doesn't look like a boat rudder, and get it some N2O. Hell, don't even upgrade it visually (unless you have the $$$ for it), and have a sleeper hit car.

Ricer (has a Type B'd Civiv): Ima pwn you mutha fucka
Tuner (Has a '99 Mustang GT, looks a bit beat up):Okay
Ricer: You too you gay ass F1 racer
F1 Racer (Has a McLaren F1): Fine, PUNK!
Ricer: Fuck u!
3 2 1 GO FUCKAS GO!
Final Placing:
F1 Racer: 1st
Tuner:2nd
Ricer:3rd by fourteen minutes (engine overheated)
Ricer: U FUKING CHEATER *wanks to goatse*

What you find a LOT of in a Military base.
Our soldiers may win in combat but lose in street racing as much as the Iraqi Insurgents do when they're in combat.

(1)An individual who attempts to alter a slow, economic car by origin with the intent of acquiring extra speed mainly through HP/Torque fluctuations. The individual is under the false impression their car is fast when it is merely "faster" and is completely cliche.
(2) An individual, who may own a fast car or car with a little extra performance value than typical economic cars(i.e. SRT-4s, EVOs, WRXs etc) who perpetuates the same actions of other ricers(winning a race then hitting their hazards, cutting people off when "racing", entering the emergency lane to pass people, using highbeams as a threat, pulling the e-brake to attempt a "drift", peeling out their vehicle to "show-off", "
grilling" or doing a "threatening" stare while driving against or racing, applying more ricer-like modifications(stickers, bigger exhaust), etc.)
(3) An individual who's core knowledge of cars is through mainstream sources yet is under the impression he is proficient with vehicles, especially imports(Hondas, Nissans, etc). This includes Gran Turismo/Need for Speed "video-game" lingo like: Stage 4 clutch, Cold Air Intake(when it's not cold air), computer chip(when it's ECU), motor swaps(when it's unnecessary half the time), dropping the tranny(extremely dangerous in an automatic), etc.
(4) Someone else who calls a person a ricer when they in fact are one also...better known as hypocrites.

(1a) That neighborhood kid at Discount Auto/Pep Boys/Autozone who's entire accessory line for their car is based upon.
(1b) The kid in high school who has the civic with 3 different colors(primer, body kits), huge spoiler, gauges, extinguisher and neons yet their car runs the 1/4 mile at about 16+ seconds.
(2) That same kid above, who's parents now purchased him an SRT-4, cannot control the difference in power and ultimately crashes the car.
(3) Possibly the same kid, who constantly goes throughout the internet looking for JDM parts, purchases and reads Import Tuner as his core source of knowledge, expresses anything new he learned while reading descriptions in Forza or Gran Turismo 4 and sounds like a broken record if he tries to assess any real problems in his friends car.
(4) Probably you, reading this now! Go buy a real car(i.e. Corvette, Mazda RX-7, Camaro, Mustang, Supra) and don't make it "All show, no Go!" ;)

A cosmetically modified car with stock engine AND Transmission.
A person who drives a car as such. One who tries to impress with swift lane changing and badly timed gear changes
